 Hi David:
 DP> I do.  I am porting over ALL my previous FoxPro projects to VFP 5.0. 
 DP> I have been successful at bringing dBASE III over as well.  In April,
 DP> I'll be helping a friend here convert her dBASE IV application to VFP
 DP> 5.0, too.  They run "nearly" without any modification.  Once you see
 DP> it, however, you begin to ask yourself, "Why did I port this over?  It
 DP> really stinks!  I could really make this application soar if I convert
 DP> it." 
 The only things I've been porting over (even though I'm still just
 starting with VFP 5) are the tables and queries. Hell, if you're not
 going to build a new application that utilizes at least some of the
 VFP 5 goodies, why bother???? There's a lot of gratification even in
 the simplest applications' before and after. "Before" was great for
 it's time, but when you see "after", you want to forget "before" .
 DP> new techniques.  I find it envigorating!  I still have much to learn,
 DP> but you can get up to speed faster than you thought you could.  Really.
 YOU still "have much to learn"????? All things being relative, I guess I'm
 still in the VFP 5 introduction page .
 Have a good one!
